So... We just found out today that my wife has 96 cysts in her pelvic area... She has a cyst the size of a softball on her left ovary and one the size of a golf ball on her right ovary. At any time one of these cysts could rupture and cause internal bleed and possibly death. We also found out why she has been going to the bathroom so much since she gave birth and that is because she has a cyst on her bladder and no more room in her pelvic area to accommodate everything. The cyst take up so much room that my wife's stomach bulges out, she thought it was just fat and has done everything she can to lose weight and nothing worked - sow we know why.The doctors will have to do a partial hysterectomy to remove the cysts, which will remove 10-20 pounds from my wife's body. We probably wont be able to have any more children.

Also we found out today that my wife has HPV and had an irregular pap smear to top everything off.

Please pray for my family, but especially my wife, Roseanna (not misspelled), as she is taking this very hard.

"For, by its immensity, the divine substance surpasses every form that our intellect reaches. Thus we are unable to apprehend it by knowing what it is. Yet we are able to have some knowledge of it by knowing what it is not." - St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa contra gentiles, I, 14.

Lord have mercy and heal Your handmaiden Roseanna from all that ails her.

Amen.

"Whether it’s the guillotine, the hangman’s noose, or reciprocal endeavors of militaristic horror, radical evil will never be recompensed with radical punishment.

Not much has changed, although we do know that she has cervical cancer. We both are praying and waiting. I believe that we are waiting for her blood test results to get back so our insurance will cover any surgery that needs to be done. I say believe because I am @ Ft. Gordon training for a new job in the Army for the next five weeks and when Roseanna and I do talk we don't discuss this part of life.

Good news is that my wife has decided to become Orthodox and has even started to do some of the daily prayers. I think she is also going to meet with my (our?) priest some time soon. Also, she has been kind of adamant about not having our daughter chrismated until she is old enough to make her own decisions (Ryvre is only 20 months old), but a few days ago Roseanna bought a chrismation dress for our daughter.
